King’s affiliation with Western affords it the benefits of a large-scale university within a small academic community setting. In a recent alumni survey, the top reason for attending King’s was the class size: the average first-year class has 50 to 60 students.

Sponsored by the Roman Catholic Diocese of London, King’s welcomes students of all faiths and traditions. The goal is to provide arts and social sciences education that will contribute to an informed, active citizenship. It also offers students the option to pursue religious studies such as World Religions or Catholic Studies, and engage in an education which focuses on the spirit and body, as well as the mind.
